College life can be challenging, but for PAGA Scholars, it’s a journey of resilience and triumph. Here are their inspiring stories:
Seeking Financial Support
Despite financial struggles in a single-parent household, Darlin May Gullas understood the value of education. With PAGA’s support, she became the first in her family to finish college, setting a path for her siblings to follow. Now, she’s pursuing a teaching career after completing her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education.
“I am deeply thankful to be a PAGA scholar. Your support means everything to me as I pursue higher education. It’s a lifeline for my family, covering my educational expenses. Being the first in my family to finish college, I aim to inspire my siblings to reach for their dreams.”
Balancing Academics and Co-curricular Activities
Balancing academics and extracurricular activities took a lot of work for James Richard Martin, a determined Iskolar ng Bayan at Cavite State University.
“Joining Academic Organizations was quite challenging, particularly during my final year in college. I participated in four organizations in one academic year and had a Thesis to complete. Despite the fatigue and hardships, the journey was worthwhile, and I came very close to achieving Cum Laude status.”
James was grateful that he could maintain being a student leader through PAGA’s support.
Building Interpersonal Skills
As a Cum Laude graduate in BEED-SPED, Glady Yabut credits PAGA for enhancing her interpersonal skills through seminars and camps. These experiences shaped her into a disciplined individual capable of effective communication and interaction.
“I appreciate PAGA’s support, which helps me pursue my studies. I aim to excel and give back. I’m especially thankful to God for using PAGA to lift my family from poverty, enabling us to chase our dreams.”
Your Support Creates Triumphs
Supporting PAGA goes beyond financial aid; it motivates scholars to excel academically and overcome obstacles. A modest monthly donation of $20 can make a significant impact, enabling these resilient individuals to pursue their dreams.
